Mallorca are at home but they are in a rough patch, having lost three of their last five matches and only won once. They have not been scoring many goals lately. Villarreal are also struggling, having lost three of their last five away games, including a heavy 5-1 defeat. Both teams are in poor shape right now.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, the games have often had a few goals, with results like 4-0 and 4-2 in favor of Villarreal. Villarreal have won most of the recent head-to-head clashes, which suggests they have the edge. This match looks like it will be a close and open contest, but given their history and current form, Villarreal are likely to avoid defeat, making it a draw or an away win.
